Using Viral Ebooks for your VIRAL Marketing

What are viral ebooks and viral reports and how can you use them in your marketing campaigns? Viral ebooks and reports are those that one person passes onto another and the book/report spreads similar to the spreading or a virus from one person to another. They are an excellent marketing tool, and if you’re not using them in your online business then you should seriously consider it. They are probably one of the best internet marketing systems for generating traffic to your websites, building your lists, and making sales. What better way to spread the word of your affiliate products or your own product than by having other people spread the word for you.

Here’s how it works. You, or someone else produces an ebook, and inside of that ebook are links back to the website or affiliate programs that you are promoting. The links inside of the ebook/report can then be “rebranded”. By “rebranding” we mean that you can replace these links with your own affiliate link codes, so that when anyone reading the ebook/report clicks on the link and makes a purchase, you’re the one making the commissions because they are clicking on your affiliate links. The recipient of the ebook will also have the opportunity to “rebrand” the book with their own affiliate link codes, so when they pass the book on to someone else they will make the sales and commissions. But keep in mind that your affiliate links will remain in the ebook until someone else “rebrands” the book.

The best viral ebooks have links that are naturally woven into the content of the book in a low key fashion, and the ebook/report itself has lots of good content. If the book does not have lots of good content it will never get passed on and will die a slow death…meaning your affiliate links will never get passed on and you will not make any money. Also, make sure that you have full resale or giveaway rights to the ebooks you’re passing on and that the affiliate links can be “rebranded” by any recipients.

You can distribute these ebooks in many different ways to promote your affiliate links, but the best way is to give it away for free as an incentive for individuals to join your opt-in mailing list. By doing this, you win by building your mailing list plus the book is full of your affiliate links so you hope to make sales by giving the book away for free. In turn, you’re also giving the recipient an opportunity to give this free ebook to his customer list and at the same time “rebrand” it with his own affiliate links for the products that are being promoted in the book.

Here’s a free ebook you can download to see what a good viral ebook looks like:

“6 Steps To Guaranteed Online Success”

In this book you can see that I have rebranded it with my affiliate links for Derek Gehl’s “Insider Secrets: Course 2008”. If anyone getting this ebook with my affiliate links decides to purchase “Insider Secrets”, then I will earn the commissions.

To Sum It Up:
1) Make sure you chose an ebook with high quality content so that you get wide distribution of your ebook. Give it away for free and it will spread more virally.
2) Make sure there is maximum return for all parties. There needs to be a balance in the rebranding. Giving away a free ebook with free rebranding rights is a great deal. I have found that a minority of the recipients of my ebooks rebrand them (10-20%). The other 80-90% read the books and purchase from my links or pass on the book as a giveaway in their own businesses, but don’t rebrand it therefore my affiliate links are still being virally passed on.

Viral marketing can be a huge source of income in your online business and it is a resource you should definitely be using. It is free advertising that works well if done properly. Give it a try and you may surprised at the results.
